Sidereal time is a timekeeping system used by astronomers to track the direction required to point a telescope at the correct star in the night sky.

IWC didn’t stop there, however, the Sidérale Scafusa also comes packing nearly every astronomical complication you can think of, just take a look at the star charts on the back dial. Those charts are customized to the buyers location. It’s the most complex fake IWC Portuguese watch has ever produced, requiring no less than 10 years to complete.
